These instruments in the near-infrared allow us to study emission lines in the optical of high-redshift galaxies (1 < z < 3) to obtain different physical properties of the galaxies, such as their kinematics. The kinematics of galaxies around the peak of the star formation rate density, at cosmic noon, can give key information to understanding their evolution over cosmic time. In this thesis, I analyse the kinematics of distant lensed galaxies to explore how the kinematics depend on galaxy physical properties, such as the stellar mass and morphology. The gravitational lensing also allow me to obtain a better spatial resolution to study star-forming clumps and compare different kinematic tracers.
